[JugDawg1]

He won't paticipate in the new government YET he hasn't decided whether or no to accept the new position? No wonder he couldn't get a coalition formed earlier on. This guy can't find his butt with both hands. He just might find himself on the outside looking in.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) – The head of Iraq's main Sunni-backed political group has pronounced a new power-sharing deal "dead" and predicted more violence, just days after the accord aiming to end political infighting was reached.

Former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi's Iraqiya was the final big group to agree to join a coalition this week in an accord that gave Shi'ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki a second term.

But two thirds of Iraqiya members walked out of parliament on Thursday saying a deal between blocs was being violated.

Allawi said some Iraqiya members might join the government, but the "main bulk" of them, including himself, would stay out.

"We think the concept of power-sharing is dead now," Allawi told CNN in an interview. "It's finished."

Asked how the end of a power-sharing deal might affect a future government, he said, "For Iraq, there will be tensions and violence, probably."

However, other Iraqiya figures said on Saturday the party still planned to join the government, and one called the walkout from parliament a "misunderstanding."

Iraqiya's shifting position heightens concerns about the future of the government deal, which ended eight months of rancorous bargaining among Shi'ite, Sunni and Kurdish factions.

Maliki has enough support from Shi'ite and Kurdish parties to rule without Iraqiya, but Washington and Iraq's Sunni Arab neighbors are anxious to ensure that the Sunni-supported bloc is also represented.

Iraq needs a stable government to rebuild infrastructure and exploit its vast oil wealth while violence ebbs seven years after the U.S.-led invasion that ousted dictator Saddam Hussein.

Under the power-sharing deal reached three days ago, politicians divided the three top posts -- prime minister, president and speaker of parliament -- among the main ethic and sectarian political blocs.

Lawmakers elected Osama al-Nujaifi, a Sunni leader of Iraqiya, as speaker, and reappointed Jalal Talabani, a Kurd, as president. Talabani then nominated Maliki as prime minister. Allawi was made head of a yet-to-be-created policy council.

But the show of unity, which had arch-rivals Maliki and Allawi sitting side-by-side in parliament, quickly unravelled when about two-thirds of Iraqiya's lawmakers walked out.

Allawi told CNN he was thinking of forming a parliamentary opposition rather than taking part in the government.

"I will not be a part of this theater," he said. "This is a new dictatorship that is happening in Iraq."

Other Iraqiya leaders and members, however, said the bloc had not reversed its decision to join the government.

"Iraqiya will take part in the government," said Mustafa al-Hiti, a senior member of Iraqiya.

Jaber al-Jaberi, an Iraqiya lawmaker, called the walkout from parliament a "misunderstanding."

"The intention of Iraqiya is not to boycott the political process and this is the decision of the Iraqiya leadership," Jaberi said. The party could still boycott the government if Maliki does not fully implement the agreement, he added.

]Iraqiya lawmaker Talal al-Zubaie said Iraqiya would take part in a session of parliament scheduled for Saturday. He called Allawi's comments "a surprising thing for me."

"Iraqiya will take part and be part of the government."

I think the info in that yahoo link is old news that's filtered around again while they're waiting for the holiday to finish and have less to write about. It reads like articles that were posting at the time of GOI formation - roughly sat/sun after the famous walkout.
